Lambeau Field to host 13th Annual Spooktacular Fun this weekend

Coats for Kids donations to be collected at event; Child ID kits available

The Green Bay Packers will again host the popular Halloween-themed event Spooktacular Funthis Saturday, Oct 3, in the Lambeau Field Atrium.

The event will be open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and is free to the public. Spooktacular Fun can be accessed through the Miller Lite Gate, Oneida Nation Gate or American Family Insurance Gate on the north and east sides of the Atrium.

Spooktacular Fun will feature interactive entertainment including music, acrobatics and variety acts. Children also will have the opportunity to have their faces painted, and can put their artistic skills to work at Halloween-themed craft stations.

Those who attend the event are also encouraged to bring new or gently-used winter coats to Lambeau to donate to the Coats for Kids program.

As in years past, the FBI Milwaukee Division and its Green Bay resident agency, in partnership with the FBI Citizens Academy Alumni Association, once again will have representatives on hand at the event to distribute free child ID kits to parents and guardians. The child ID kit allows parents or guardians to collect specific information by easily recording the physical characteristics and fingerprints of their children on identification cards that are kept at home. If ever needed, this ID kit gives authorities the vital information necessary to help locate a missing child.

‘Spooktacular Fun’ is one in a series of community events held each year by the Packers. Other events include an ecumenical Thanksgiving Day meal for area needy families, ‘Project Play 60’ and ‘Empower,’ which are each part of Green Bay Packers Give Back, the Packers’ all-encompassing community outreach initiative. Combined with other Green Bay Packers charity endeavors, the awards contribute to a comprehensive Packers charity impact that was in excess of $7 million in the past year.
